Shatter Brain are an Adelaide based metal band comprised of members of some of South Australia’s most successful heavy bands. The band draws together an eclectic but coherent range of influences, seamlessly blending fast, razor-tight rhythms with laid back grooves, and boasting diverse vocals that move from ear-piercing highs to sewer-dwelling lows. Their sound is reminiscent of its contemporaries, such as High on Fire, Kvelertak, Black Breath and Power Trip, with the occasional nod to classic metal, hardcore and crossover.

The band spent 2017 working tirelessly behind the scenes to record their first demo, which was mastered by Joel Grind (Toxic Holocaust, Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy), and filmed a video clip for the debut single "Rip the Stitch". Following the release of "The Shatter Brain Demo" in January 2018, the band will commence a tour of Australia and New Zealand throughout February and March, with further dates to follow.
